The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 20 minutes past Three o' - f 4 LO • A . c c , -ct ~~-, Z r. f) c> 1111 LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 10, 1836. - • ROM the. discussion that took place in the House of Peers last night on the subject of the Tory amend ments to the Irish Corporation Bill, it is evident that their Lordships are not yet awake to the necessity of treating Ireland otherwise than as a conquered coun try. She must still be insulted—still trampled on— still treated as of " unsound mind," and incompetent to the management ,of her own affairs. Their Lord ships will not hear a word to the contrary. They will legislate for Ireland after their own fashion—that is to say, in the old orthodox spirit of Tory despotism. It is vain to warn them ; vain to tell them that they are .bringing a hornet's nest abou't their ears, and en dangering the safety of their own Institution ; they are deaf as the deaf adder, and will not be stayed in their course of . destructiveness. Never were better agitators than the Conservative Peers. They are O'connellites to a man, and if they do but con tinue as they have commenced, harassing, bullying, and treating the Irish people, just as if, instead of being seven millions of men, they were but so many herd of wild cattle, we do not despair of seeing the day when the Union shall be repealed, arid O'Cox- NELL proclaimed King of Ireland, by the title of King Dan the First ! We are told in Scripture that the " Lord chasteneth him whom he loveth ;" and this, we doubt not, is the reason idly the Lords are so fond of " chastening" O'CoNNELL. They are not satisfied with having furnished him with a fine, rattling tail of forty joints and odd, by their virulent, and protracted hostility to Emancipation, and their equally virulent hostility to Irish Reform ; but they must— out of their extreme " love"—increase his influence xrill further, by supplying him with fresh arguments for Repeal, and fresh joints to his tail. Generous men ! It is hard that they should suffer for such un common disinterestedness ;, but suffer they will ; and that before Er, LENuouotx; n's glossy ringlets turn grey, or Prince 'WATER LOO'S head shakes with the pal3y of dotage. The Tories, forsooth, object to the. old Irish Corpo- rations that they are a sink of corruption, and only to be purified by being abolished altogether. It is strange they never discovered this before. For the last thirty years and upwards these municipal bodies have been just as corrupt as they are now ; but then they were useful to the Tories, by assisting them to hold out against Emancipation and Reform, and keep up Orange Ascendancy throughout Ireland. Now, how ever, that they can be of no further service to the Conservative cause, they are abandoned without re morse, and even twitted with their unblushing profli gacy. Stich is Tory gratitude. Mark too the hypo crisy of these men ! They tell us that their chief objection to Mr. O'LOGHLIN'S Corporation Bill is, that it will be productive of a system of exclu siveness and agitation, which is abhorrent to their notions of propriety ; though it is by that very system, and none other, that they have for ages been enabled to rule Ireland with a rod of iron ! But agitation is not agitation, nor is exclusiveness, exclusiveness, when either answer a Tory purpose. Both are then perfectly constitutional, and only assume the form of nuisances when they tell against the interests of faction. But the country will not be hood-winked by this logic ; and still less will it hold with the Duke of WELLINGTON, that the Ministerial measure is a " tyrannical " one. " Tyrannical," indeed 1 Truly that is a most atrocious species of tyranny which invests a country with the management of its own affairs ; which legislates for the benefit of the many, instead of for the selfish, purblind interests of the few ; and strikes at the root of all those invidious distinctions which have so . long rendered life and pro perty insecure in Ireland. If this be tyranny, how beneficent must have been the sway of the Tories for the last fifty years !. They—tolerant creatures!— never, never yet tyrannized over us in this fashion. We honourably acquit them of even the suspicion of such an act. There was no tyranny in their war-taxes ; no tyranny in their Six Acts.; no tyranny in their new gaols and barracks strewed all over the kingdom—the tyranny began with the Whigs, who would insist on diminishing taxation, annihilating, the borouglunongers, and treating the people like ra tional- beings, instead of brute beasts. The phrase tyranny " comes with peculiar grace ficim the lips of a Tory ; and henceforth we shall never hear it uttered, without thinking of that most tolerant and enlightened party. Meantime, what is to be done w:th their Lordships' amendments ?—for this is the great, indeed the sole, question to be considered now. Will the Commons accept the Corporation Bill in its present mangled condition ; and if they do, -will Ireland ? Certainly Both must insist on the measure being passed in its original integrity. Enough has been already conceded to their Lordships ; and it is now high time that the people should be on the look out for themselves ; fur they may depend on it, that tho more they submit, the more sacrifices will be ex acted from them by a capricious and disdainful Aris tocracy. Lord LYNDHURST, we perceive, from a natural modesty, declines giving a title to his new Corporation Bill. We will supply him with one. Let entitle it " a Bill for the purpose of putting Ireland out of the pale of British Legislation, and per petuating discord tluough the entire length and breadth of the country." not. The Factories' Act Amendment Bill was rea:l a second time last night in the House of Commons, after a very warm and interesting discussion, and a division in which the numbers were 178 to 176. When the numbers are so nearly balanced on a ques tion which does not admit of the operation of party influences, the natural inference is, that the subject is one on which it is not easy to legislate. There is, however, in cases such as that under consideration, one great principle which, if steadily kept in view, will always suffice to smooth difficulties, and render legislation safe—the principle of humanity. If this principle be violated, it is in vain to expect, either that the law will be obeyed or the law makers respected. We are perfectly aware of the utility of manufactures —nay, we do not hesitate to say that they form the basis of Four national prosperity ; and we are sure our readers will bear us out when we say, that we have ever been the strenuous opponents of every measure tending to impose restrictiogs ..upon trade and com merce. But when it appears to us that the claims of commerce are opposed to those of humanity, we must take part with the latter. In our view the prosperity of a country is not merely the quantity wealth it possesses, but .the number of happy human beings it contains. To purchase wealth therefore at the ex pense of human happiness is not good policy - ; other wise we did Wrong in striking off the chains from our West Indian slaves. The object of the amendment proposed to be made in the Factory Act, is to increase the number of hours of labour to which children are now subjected in manu facturing establishments, from eight hours a-day to twelve. Now to us it does appear too much to exact 12 hours' labour from children of from 10 to 13 years of age, that labour too carried on in close, crowded, and heated rooms. We should at least have expected to see a clear case made out for the necessity of the proposed alteration by its advocates ; but we are bound to say that no evidence whatever has been produced to show - that any of the bad consequences said to flow from the restriction of juvenile labour to eight hours will be in the least pre vented by its extension to twelve. We may remark, too, that those Members of Parliament who have had most experience in manufactories are for the shorter period. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Sunday. At a late hour on Saturday evening the Government received the following telegraphic com munication, which was published in the Journal de Paris, and copied officially by the Moniteur:— " On the sth the British Legion made a sortie from St. Sebastian. They carried, without meeting with any serious resistance, the first part of the Carlist works, but the second was defended with obstinacy. " The English Admiral, having landed 800 men of the Legion, kept up a well-fed fire for an hour ; at nine o'clock the Carlists fled, abandoning four pieces of cannon. " General Evans pursued them to Hernani, which he occu pied on the following day. " The English fought with much intrepidity. They have lost nearly two hundred men killed, alid have had twice as many wounded. "The loss of the Carlists has been considerable." The above confirms the account we published yester day. Its importance is derived rather from being the first direct act of British intervention, than from even the greatness and the possible results of a victory, which opens an uninterrupted communication with France. England is now fairly committed, nor do we see how the Government can decline following up the victory thus obtained by English troops, under the command of an English Admiral. From accounts which have reached us from various well-informed quarters, we learn that peddling intervention will not suffice to put down the rebellion during the present campaign. If we would tranquillize Spain, we must bestir ourselves, and go to work in good earnest, by sending a large regular force into the country, to co operate effectually with the QUEEN'S army in the North. This - has been our opinion from the com mencement of the civil war, and every circumstance that has occurred since only tends to confirm it. The Chamber of Peers and Deputies sat on Satur day. The Deputies were engaged with petitions pray ing that the licenses of the gambling-houses of Paris would not be renewed. MM. LA FITTE, DE LA MA RTINE, SALVETRE, and DE LAROCHEFOU CAULD LIANCOURT, supported the prayer of the pe titioners, and denounced the gambling-houses as the haunts of lust, avarice, theft, robbery, despair, mur der, and suicide. The President of the Council did not dare to deny that such haunts of vice were the abo mination of the French capital, but maintained that the Government could not part with a revenue of 5,500,000 francs ! Has M. THIERS read MANDE- VILLE'S famous, or rather infamous, tract on Public Stews ? If not, we recommend him to get it, as it developes a source of revenue which such a Minister would hardly fail to make available. What is the mora lity or the life of a people in comparison with the expen sive pleasures of the Orleans dynasty ? M. THIERS is not chargeable with the common vice of upstarts—ingra titude. He would prefer seeing France one great gambling-house, filled from one end to the other with all the enormities cited in the eloquent and enthusiastic speech of LAMARTIpIE, rather than that an inch should be clipped from the ample dimensions of the regal robe 'enveloping the portly figure of his patron LOUIS PHILLIPPE. The following, are extracts from the Papers of Sunday : It would appear, from a statement of the General Society of Shipwrecks of Piris, that from the Ist of March to the 15th of April, 1836, 50 vessels, 15 of which were French, 2 Bel gian, 2 Sardinian, 2 Danish, and 1 Roman, were lost on the coast of France; 233 seamen perished, among them were the 78 fishermen of Teste, who left behind upwards of 100 or. phans. Thirty vessels went down with their cargoes, and part of their crews; 9 suffered considerable damage, and 11 were saved without much injury. PARIS, APRIL 7.—Lord Granville, the English Ambassador, had a conference yesterday with M. Thiers at the Foreign• Office. We have received very disastrous ,accounts from La Besse. Mevre and La Besse Bourgoyne. The melting of the snow which fell about a week ago in the mountains of Morvan, and were so immediately preceded by copious rains, has so swelled the rivers Yonne and La Cure, and the numerous streams which flow into them, as to cause them to rise fifteen feet above their ordinary level. The inhabitants of Lower Burgundy, who are now at Paris are under the most serious alarms. Yes terday and to-day the arrival of the diligences and mails has been suspended ;no letters arc come. The little that we know of these disasters is communicated by some travellers who come from the vicinity of the places which are overflowed. We are told of bridges carried away, walls thrown down, manu factories destroyed. We should be happy to consider these fears and reports as exaggerated. Unhappily the extraordi nary rise of the Seine in Paris itself sufficiently indicates the catastrophe which must have afflicted the unfortunate inhabi tants of the banks of the Yonne and Cure. This rise was at six o'clock this morning eighteen feet at the Port Royal. We dare not dwell on the deplorable results of this deluge. Yesterday morning the streets of .Sens were inundated so that all communication was impossible. To-day, at 4 o'clock, neither the post from Lyons nor any public conveyance from Burgundy had arrived. An account from Switzerland, of the 29th of April. says, " The measures ordered by France against the Canton of Bale country are not only rigorously executed but new ones are added to them. Great discontent prevails on this account among the inhabitants of Birsch ; they demand permission to make reprisals, and as their wish has not been acceded to, a late assembly of the poople at Bruningen resolved not to sutler any Jew to pass the frontiers of. the Canton of Bale-country, and to place guards chosen from among themselves to prevent this prohibition from being disregarded. Besides, the popu lation of the country is so irritated against the French Jews that even if no guard were placed on the frontiers no indi i idual of that nation would dare to show himself in the ter ritory of Bale."—Messager, May 8. Madrid Journals of - the 29th ult., received this morning, announce that the Cabinet is still in a state of disorganization. Nothing certain appears to be known as to the cause of this delay in its re-construc tion. The prevailing opinion was that the newly ap pointed Ministers were insisting upon terms which MENDIZABAL would pot concede—namely, that they were each to be regarded as having pledgel themselves to the adoption of no particular line of policy. We have received New Brunswick Papers to the 27th of March inclusive. , Their contents are gene rally satisfactory. We can only make room for the speech of his Excellency the Lieutenant Governor, on closing the Session of the Colonial Legislature " Mr. President, and Honourable Gentlemen of the Le. gislative Council, " Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, " The subjects of your deliberations, during the present Session, have been more numerous and important than any heretofore laid before the General Assembly of this province, and it is earnestly to be hoped that the various Acts that have emanated therefrom, and to which I have given my assent, may tend in their operation to the further prosperity of his Ma.. jesty's loyal subjects in this already highly flourishing, happy ► and contented colony. " In now relieving you from laborious duties, I rely with confidence upon your encouraging and promoting, by,your individual influence among the people at large, more feeling of attachment to our excellent Constitution, and of dutiful affec tion to our gracious Sovereign, for which the inhabitants of New Brunswick have been ever conspicuous."

EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMMITTEE ON Tilt BILL—At a late stage of the proceedings to-day, during the cross-examination of the engineer (J. Braithwaite, Esq.), Mr. Halcombe informed the Committee that he was instructed to tyithdraw all opposition to the measure on the part of the Great Northern Railway. Cauncir RATES.—The Churchwardens of Great Coggeshall, complained against Lewis Allen, and nine other persons, principally Quakers, for non-payment of the Church rates.—Essex Herald. On Monday morning this town was visited by a tre mendous gale of wind, which has been blowing very cold from the North for some days past, and hail showers have been very frequent. Several French Loggers, and also some fishing boats from Yarmouth have been anchored under the lea of the town, but one of them, nevertheless broke from her moorings on Tuvsday, and was blown out to se4.-13righton Guardian. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAC. 10, 1836. DUBLIN and DROGHEDA RAILWAY. The Committee on this most important measure has been sitting for the last few days, inquiring into the practicability of a railway communication between Dublin and the rapidly improving town of Drogheda. It is also in contemplation to continue the line to Armagh where it will meet the Great Ul ster Railway, and thus connect the important town of Belfast (the Liverpool of Ireland) with the metropolis. We are glad to observe so full an attendance of Members connected with Ireland on the Committee, convinced as we are that such un dertakings as these will effect incalculable benefit to the coun try, both by developing its powerful resources, and giving em ployment to its robust and industrious population. In the se veral towns in the north of Ireland, through which this rail way is to be established, several large manufactories have been erected within the last three or four years. In the towns of Drogheda, Newry, Armagh, Castle wellen, and Belfast, very extensive flax-spinning estab lishments are now in full work, besides a great many new ones in progress of erection. So highly did the late Mr. Sadler prove the advantages which Ireland possesses for the establishment of manufactures, that he removed from Leeds and embarked his entire capital in linen manufactures in Belfast, and a short period before his death he had it in contemplation to erect, on a most extensive scale, a spinning factory in the vicinity of Armagh. Cotton spinning is also making great progress in the north of Ireland, and the calico printers are fully engaged, not only for the supply of home consumption, but also for the great market of Manchester, with which they carry on a very extensive trade. There are now steamers plying between all the great ports of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the town of Drogheda alone, with a population of 17,000, has four powerful steam vessels, the property of its inhabitants. In Louth, Meath, Westmeath, and other eastern counties, from the increased facility of trans porting live stock to Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol, the farmers are turning their attention to the feeding of cattle, which for the last two or three years has paid them much better than corn crops, and there can be no doubt, when those facilities of communication are further increased by the projected railway, the exports of both agricultural and manufactured produce will be greatlly increased. Indeed the best proof that can be given of the encreasing prosperity of this portion of Ireland, is to be found in a fact to which our attention has been called, namely, that the Downpatrick estate, which was purchased some twelve months ago by David Kerr, Esq., sold for 38 years' purchase ; and the Cooley estate, in the county of Louth, was purchased by the late Sir Harry Goodricke at 31 years' purchase. With all thesegacts before us, we have no doubt but this railway will prove not only a source of private emolument but a great national benefit. LONDONand BRIGHTON RAILROADS At the Meeting of the Committee, yesterday, it appeared that Mr. Stephenson's party had purchased Mr. Gibbs's line, and it was stated by Counsel that his examination would be discontinued, and his line withdrawn ; and it was proposed by Mr. Sergeant Merewether, Counsel for Mr. Stephenson's line, that Mr. Gibb's evidence should not be printed. This was opposed by Mr. Joy, and the Committee yesolved that it should be printed. After this Sergeant Lum.ow, Counsel for Mr. Gibbs, exa mined him, for the purpose of showing that a junction might, in the next Session, be made between Stephenson's line and the Croydon, and by that means lie might have the advantage of a terminus at London-bridge. Mr. SIDNEY TAYLOR, on behalf of the supporters of Sir John Rennie's direct line, cross-examined Mr. Gibbs, with a view to show the length of the proposed line, and also the practicability of a junction being made between Sir John Ren nie's line and the Southampton, so as to give it the advantage of two terminii; and the result proved that Mr. Stephenson might, next year, get a terminus at London-bridge ; but the distance from his northern terminus at Brighton would be 621 miles, his own line, to Nine Elms, being about 56 miles ; and that Sr John Rennie's might form a junction with the South ampton, and the distance from Brighton to Nine Elms would be fifty miles, the distance of his direct line from Brighton to the City being somewhat less than 50 miles, giving him the advantage of six miles as to the West-end terminus, and 12.1 miles as to that at London-bridge. The extra length of Ste phenson's lines would thereby: entail upon , passengers by the Western road an extra charge of Is. a journey, and by the road to London Bridge, 2s. a journey. MIDDLESEX REFORM CLUB. The annual meeting of the Middlesex Reform Club was held on Saturday, at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, which was most respectably attended. Henry \Varburton, Esq., M. P., the President, took the Chair. The Committee reported the proceedings of the last year, which was most satisfactory to the Reform interest. Commu nications have been established with various parts of the county ; printed instructions disseminated to the electors, arid professional agents were procured to attend the Courts of the, Revisin g r , Barristers, at the last registration, and this with very limited funds at their disposal. Nothing (nil more forcibly show how much good can be effected to the Liberal cause, at a comparatively trifling sum, than the operations of this Club since their formation last year, the object being to promote the cause of Reform upon general principles, regardless of the interests of any private individual. The supineness of the Reformers of this great county is much to be regretted, if not censured, for not more generally and effectually contributing for the common cause, rather than allow the Liberal interests to be abandoned to its opponents. ROLLS COURT.--(THIS DAY.) This being the first general petition day after term, 300 country, and 114 London Attornies were sworn in before the MASTER of the ROLLS this morning. Next term every Attor ney will have to undergo an examination before he can he per mitted to practice, which accounts for so large a number being sworn in this morning. His Lordship then proceeded to hear the unopposed peti tions, which occupied him the remainder of the morning. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) MILLS V. SECRET. Mr. ERLE (with whom was Mr. Byles) stated the case. It was an action for obstructing a foot-way to which the plaintiff claimed a right, as the possessor of a certain tenement adjoin ing. The parties reside at Hadleigh, and the path in ques tion adjoined the high road from London to York, and was used by the parishioners as a Church path. The defendant built a wall which projected about half-way across the path, and rendered it,,as the plaintiff alleged, much more inconve nient, and the present action was brought to recover compen sation for the injury sustained thereby. A great number of witnesses were examined, who deposed generally that for fifty or sixty years the path in question had been used as a Church path, and had been kept in repair by the parish authorities. They also established the fact that the wall built about twelve months ago by the defendant, had nar rowed the path, and rendered it more inconvenient. Mr. PETERSDORFF, for the defendant, contended, that as the plaintiff claimed the right in question as pertinent to a mes suage, he must show that that messuage was built for twenty years; and it appeared in evidence that it was only eighteen years built. _ _ Mr. ERLE contended that the right was in the field or close previous to the erection of the messuage, and was therefore con tinued in it. Mr. PETERSDORFF bad another objection. It was pleaded that the right was a private right, but the witnesses had proved that it was a public one. Lord DErsrwi—That is for the Jury to say. Mr. PETERSDORFF then addressed the Jury for the defendant, and called witnesses to prove that the erection of the wall in question was no inconvenience, and that the defendant had im proved the path very much, by gravelling and rendering it more passable. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, Is. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. John Brown, a person of respectable connections, was in dicted for assaulting Harry Edward Desmond, with intent to commit an abominable offence. The prosecutor stated that he first became acquainted with the prisoner on Easter Sunday night, at a public-house at King's.cross, which they left together and went to several other public-houses ; and in the course of their nocturnal rambles they went to one near Fleet-street, and from thence to the Three Tuns, in Smithfield, where the alleged assault was committed, the particulars of which cannot be reported. The witness stated that he struck the prisoner, and gave him in custody. The prosecutor underwent a rigid cross-examination by Mr. BODKIN, when he stated that he is a married man ; that he danced with some prostitutes in Fleet -street, whom they treated in Bride-lane. He also admitted that the prisoner made an indecent advance to him, before he committed the offence on which the prosecution was founded, and instead of quitting the prisoner, he afterwards treated him. A lad of the name of John Parker, a waiter at the Three Tuns, confirmed some part of the prosecutor's statement. Mr. BODKIN addressed the Jury in an impressive manner on behalf of the defendant, whom he described as a teacher, a married man, and moving in a respectable sphere of life. The Learned Gentleman, in conclusion, remarked upon the immo ral conduct of the prosecutor, and the ease with which such an accusation could be made. Several witnesses were examined on behalf of the defendant, with the view of weakening the evidence of the prosecutor ' • and others were called, who gave the prisoner a good moral character. • _ _ Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up the evidence. The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. The COURT hoped this would cause the defeneant to be more cautious in future. The prosecutor was also repri manded, and refused his expenses. ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The number of visitors during the past month was 10,460, from whom the sum of 3881. Is. was received. Amongst the more recent donations are a Malay bear, and two hives of bees, on a new principle of ma nagement, by Messis. Nutt and Neighbour. Letters have been received from M. Thibaut, at Malta, dated 6th April, which state that the giraffes were in good health and condition. The Manchester steam-vessel, which lately conveyed Prince Ferdi nand to Lisbon, has proceeded to Malta for the purpose of bringing them over to this country, it having been chattered by the Council for 1,0001. The necessary fittings will be pro vided for their accommodation by the Government at Malta. It is expected that the final removal of the Museum to the new premises, in Leicester-square, will take place the latter end of this month. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night, after the Stafford Indemnity Wit nesses Bill had been read a third time, the Teignmouth Har bour and the Edinburgh Poor Rate Bills were severally re ceived from the Commons. Returns relative to the state of business in the Court of Chancery had been ordered, and some other business of secondary importance hone through ; the House went into Committee on the Irish Corporations' Bill on the second clause being read, Lord Lyndhurst moved and carried, by a majority of 54, an amendment, to the effect that all the Corporations of Ireland should be destroyed. 71711, Ministers were also defeated on the 22d clause, which was struck out on the motion of Lord Lyndhurst, in opposition to an amendment proposed by the Duke of Richmond for pre serving to large towns their municipal institutions. In the COMMONS', there was an extended and interesting debate on the Factory Bill, the object of which measure was to place the law regarding Factories in the same situation as that in which it was previously to the Ist of March, so that children between the ages of 12 and 13 might work for more than eight hours per day. Lord Ashley moved, and Mr. Poulter seconded, an amendment, that the Bill be read that day six months. On a division, the numbers for the amend ment were 176, against it 178. Thus the Bill was carried by a majority of two. COURT CIRCULAR. His Serene Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, with his sons, the hereditary Princes, and the Prince Albert, are about to leave Coburg, on a tour, to visit London, Paris, and Brussels. Their Serene Highne3ses are expected at Kensington Palace about the 15th of this month. The Landgravine of Hesse Homburg dined with the Prin cess Augusta on Sunday. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards visited the Duchess of Gloucester at Gloucester House. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria walked and drove in the Parks yesterday. The Princess Augusta took an airing yesterday in a car riage and four. The Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Baillie Donaldson, Mr. Tredsurer Black, with Mr. Cunningham, Town Clerk, and Mr. Robertson, Sir James Gibson Craig, Bart., and Mr. Christie, had an interview with the Channellor of the Exchequer yester day, on behalf of the creditors of the City of Edinburgh. A deputation, including Mr. James Bishop, Secretary of the Metropolitan Association of the New Beer Trade, Mr. Joshua Green, Delegate from the Liverpool Association of the New Beer Trade, Mr. William Hurst, Delegate of the Hull As sociation of the New Beer Trade, accompanied by Mr. War burton, M. P., had an interview with Lord John Russell yes terday at the Home Office. Baron Blome, the Danish Minister, transacted business yes terday at the Foreign Office. THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. The opera of Fidelio was played last night for the first time this season, when Madame Malibran appeared in the princi pal part. Her performance of this character is so well known, and has been so often described, that it is impossible to add anything to the praises before bestowed upon it, except only by repeating them. The house was remarkably well filled, as it has been on every night of her performance, and the frequent and enthusiastic applause of the audience bore testimony to the delight which her performance excited. The finale was en cored, and the whole performance went off with great spirit and eclat. This opera is to be repeated on Friday, and the Somnambula on Wednesday. From the appearance of the theatre, it would seem that Madame Malibran's engagement is one of the most successful efforts of the season. ENGLISH OPERA A piece in one Act, called Gunpowder Plot, not 'the 5111. of Noreniber, was brought out last night. It depends chiefly for its interest on the adventure of a lively girl, ( Agnes Wal stein (Miss Murray) who, with her servant Rosa, (Mrs. Keeley) has assumed out of frolic, the male and also military costume. She is involved in a quarrel with her own lover, ho does not recognize her, to whom her brother, who does, acts as second, and it is determined to make the duel decidedly a fatal one, that a candle shall be placed in a barrel of gun powder, and that both shall await the explosion. Of course this is a trick, and no combustibles are intended to be used ; but the lady learns the tactics of her opponent, and throws him into an agony of terror by announcing that she has pro vided a barrel of real gunpowder. At the moment of expected explosion, a pistol is fired from without, by previous concert, and when the lover believes himself blown to atoms, he finds himself in the presence of a forgiving mistress. The piece was quite suecessfulf ST. JAMES'S-FRENCH PLAYS. The monotony of the performances at this theatre have been very seasonably relieved by the addition of M. L'Herie, of the Varietes, to the company. This excellent comedian last night appeared Polydore, in the vaudeville Folbert et Polydore, and supported characters in L'Art dene Pas illontor sa Garde, in all of which he displayed a versatility of talent and humour that justly entitle him to the appellation of a premier comique. We hope that Madame Vertpre will gratify us with other as judicious selections from the same theatre. We do not think Vernet has ever appeared in any theatre in England, and we should welcome with delight that superlative drole, Odry ; their talents are surely available, if Madame Jenny should think fit to import them. We must remind la Direction of this theatre that in their opening prologue they pledged themselves to dis continue the bad practice of former managements in allowing large portions of time to intervene between the entertainments. Last night the audience audibly reminded them they were not keeping faith. The house was but scantily attended. STRAND. We are happy to see that this little theatre is reviving so much in public estimation. Indeed the spirited management of Mr. J. Hammond and Mr. Jerrold is well deserving of the patronage bestowed upon it. Last night w e were t rea t e d with a new burletta, in one act, entitled Pug ; or a Widow's Tears, in which Mrs. Nisbett plays the principal part. Another new burletta followed, in which Mr. Hammond was the Man for the Ladies, and sang a very good mock bravura, " Dolce Doll Concento." At the end of the piece, there were some dis cordant voices, but the applause prevailed. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MIT 9.—Wind N.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—A very beau tiful female panther, a new description of antelope, and several other rare animals and birds, have been added to this splendid collection during the last week. An immense aviary, built for Mr. Rothschild, is erecting in the Gardens, and will shortly be ready for occupation. Altogether the Gardens look ex tremely beautiful, and the animals are in the finest health. The Sherwood Rangers, which are a fine body of men, and have a very martial appearance, are to be reviewed at Newark, instead of Mansfield, on Tuesday next. To-morrow will be the anniversary of the day on which the Right Hon. Spencer Perceval, Chancellor of the Exchequer, was assassinated in the lobby of the House of Commons, in the year 1812. It is also the anniversary of the death of the first Lord Chatham, who died in 1778. MR. HAYDON'S XENOPHON.—This painting, having failed to obtain a purchaser at a price proportionate to its merit and value, was raffled for yesterday ambncrst several noblemen, di st i ngu i s h e d f or t h e i r patronage o f the fine arts. The decision took place at the Thatched-house Tavern, St. James's-street. His Grace the Duke of Sutherland presided. The prize was gained by the Duke of Bedford, his Grace having thrown the highest numbers, viz., 8, 11, 11—(30). COLOSSEUM.—Among the many distinguished par ties who attended the performance of those extraordinary in dividuals, the Bedouin Arabs, on Monday morning, we noticed his Excellency Nourri Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, and suite ; the Duke of Manchester, Sir Watkin Williams Wynne, Lord Burghersh and family, &c. IRISH DESCRIPTION OF A FEMALE DANCER. —" The lady is proprietor of a person about six feet high-- legs that might make the fortune of a chairman, and feet, as the Irish say, ' wid a fine howld av the flure.' " The Valencians are so effeminate, that there is a proverb which says, " The men of Valencia are women—the women nothing at all." The average prices of wheat and rye at Brussels, for the fourth week of April (25 to 30), were 14f. 72c., and 9f. 61c. per hectolitre. The import duty is, therefore, on wheat, 73f.—on rye, 21f. 50c. per 1,000 kilogrammes. The third son of the Prince of Orange will shortly go on board the squadron which is destined to cruise in the Baltic; it seems that his Royal Highness will remain some time with the squadron, and afterwards proceed on his intended voyage to the East Indies. A letter from Boulogne of the 3d of May, announces the arrival of the Poles expelled from Paris, who immediately embarked for England. Among them was the brave General Dwernecki, accompanied by his young wife. The passage of the Poles caused a great sensation in Boulogne, and the good wishes of the whole population accompanied the noble victims of proscription in their passage on the Straits.—Messager, May 6.
